PGY-4 Entry Programs

The Postgraduate Year Four (PGY-4) entry residency training programs offered by the Department of Medicine are accreditated by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC). RCPSC certification in a subspecialty is granted when one completes all credentials, training, and examination requirements. Information regarding the subspecialty training requirements for each program can be found on the RCPSC website.

To apply, you must be a current resident scheduled to complete your PGY-3 training in an accrediated Canadian or American internal medicine program on, or before, June 30th of the year following your application. Your citizenship status determines your application pathway for admission to residency. The Postgraduate Medical Education Office provides detailed information regarding eligibility and application processes for Canadian resident applicants (administered by the national residency matching process that the Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS)), international resident applicants and other application streams.

Note: If you are considering applying to one of the Department of Medicine's PGY4 entry residency training programs, and you have also applied to the U.S. match through the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP), please be advised that the University of Toronto is a participating institution and adheres to the match policy. The policy states that "Applicants who have matched to a program or ahve accepted a position during the Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP), shall not apply for, discuss, interview for, or accept a concurrent year position in another program prior to the NRMP granting the requested waiver." More information is accessible on the NRMP Specialty Matching Services Match Participation Agreement.
